Virius Mercer
Prefect Mercer represents the oldest and richest area of Vesuva, and as such, has tremendous political power. The other prefectures basically acquiesce to his will or he ignores them, like the Dockyards and the Industrial prefecture. The Party discovered that Mercer was aiding Eldanoth and opening the portal in the Center Temple to communicate with him. He was also discovered to be leading the Assassin's Guild. Under the loose and deniable direction of Jarek and the Adventurer's Guild, the Party put an end to his nefarious activities with extreme prejudice.
In the resulting power vacuum in Vesuva, the Ackerman clan, under Renate Ackerman has been tapped to reclaim their role in the Vesuvan power structure.
